All About Kieślowski February 6–23, 2014

Istanbul Modern Cinema, in collaboration with the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, presents the most extensive retrospective of Polish filmmaker Krzysztof Kieślowski to date in Turkey. With his unique narrative language, meticulous attention to detail, bare critique of the human being, and subtle cinematography, Kieślowski, who is known as a “cinematic poet,” has contributed great masterpieces to world cinema.

Comprising 47 films, the program ranges from the director’s early career as a documentary filmmaker conveying the social realities in Poland of the 70s to The Decalogue, his series of ten films representing the Ten Commandments done for Polish Television. Kieslowski gained international renown with his trilogy “Three Colors” based on the three concepts symbolized by the French flag; liberty, equality, and fraternity. Together with Ingmar Bergman and Andrei Tarkovsky, the powerful storyteller is among the touchstones of European auteur cinema. Besides film screenings, the program “All about Kieślowski” will include a talk on the cinema of Kieślowski.
